NICTA opens door to open source software

Business IT - Open Source

“In the few years since NICTA was established in 2002, we have developed this impressive selection of open source releases including the breakthrough OKL4 embedded hypervisor, the CAmkES runtime framework solution for software developers to build microkernel-based operating systems quickly and reliably, and the Armadillo C++ linear algebra library.”

Nicol says he is “really proud of each of these releases and the talented teams of researchers who developed them,” and lists the NICTA researchers and the software they developed. See for yourself:

 
•    Conrad Sanderson and Armadillo Library, a C++ linear algebra library using matrix and vector maths

•    Peter Chubb and Articulate, an add-on to Lilypond software that converts Lilypond input so that MIDI output more closely resembles a human player. Lilypond is an open source software project that takes a language that describes music and converts it into typeset music

•    Gernot Heiser and OKL4, a microkernel-based virtualisation solution for embedded systems

•    Renato Ianella and CAIRNS, a demonstrator of technologies used to construct an interoperable Crisis Information Management System Architecture and an ODRL Microformat Plugin that detects ODRL microformats on a web page and indicates this to the user

•    Ihor Kuz and CAmkES, a software development and runtime framework that reliably and quickly build microkernel-based multiserver operating systems

•    Athanassios Boulis and Castalia, a simulator for low-power embedded devices

•    Olivier Mehani and Freeze-TCP module for ns-2, a module that adds support for Freeze-TCP

•    Ralph Becket and MiniZinc, a modelling language which can express most constraint programming problems easily, but can also be mapped onto existing solvers easily and consistently

•    Christopher Leckie and NOSA, a reusable, scalable, extensible, and interoperable service oriented Sensor Web architecture

•    Lars Petersson and Pedestrian Dataset, a dataset containing 25551 unique pedestrians, allowing for a dataset of over 50K images with mirroring.
